Making
discoveries with data is what making working with data so exciting

Neil
DeGrasse-Tyson describes discovery using the metaphors of light – what if we
could look through infra-red or night-vision

-Tolame
in Ancient Egypt sees that stars are moving across the night sky and therefore
assume everything is rotating round the Earth. He was limited by technology
that couldn’t test his theory further.

-17th
Century – two dutch inventory use a convex lens and concave lens in the same
tube. They just invented the Telescope

-Later
in that century – Galileo turns the telescope to the night’s sky. Technology
helps the findings and discoveries grow even further

-1920s
– US Prohibition kicks in – Hubble discovers stars are spread across the
universe. Hubble had the same data set (the night’s sky) but he had the
technology to support his discoveries to see the infinite (discuss!!) expanse
